Hi Martin,

I would trust your judgment, because I know that your business depends on unsolicited inquiries. If you decide to implement it, I would enjoy hearing about the results! Even though I'm using Declude and Sniffer, my spam numbers have been increasing a little and I won't be upgrading past 8.15, so I'm interested in alternative solutions. I own SmarterMail, and will probably switch the that sometime next year. I've recently moved to Norway but my servers are all still in the US, so I would like to have something that is pretty much hands-off. (I don't have a lot of accounts -- less than 300.)

Kind regards,

Bill

Hi Bill,

Yes, this is a bit weard. As a Ipswitch partner, i receive mails from unknown folks asking for a quote. So, unknown people mostly are becoming customers. Mails like that are quite "critical" to me: deal or no deal.

Don't get those statements too serious, you will find more stuff like that on other pages further on. I think, the author has a weard kind of humor, maybe he spend too many hours in front of his PC too ;-)

After reading more of the documentation, i think this product is quite cool. Some parts can really extend IMail. I will test ASSP for sure.

I do not understand, why ASSP is also used to send mails. For outgoing mails, the SMTP service from IMail could still be used. Maybe to scan outgoing mails for viruses?

After reading some chapters of the manual, i really have to test this free
product.

After I read some of the docs, I came to a very different conclusion. I was
immediately turned off by the author's following statement:

"First it is unlikely (not impossible, but unusual) that you receive
critical business correspondance from someone you HAVE NEVER EMAILED before. I don't have a percentage, but I know that business doesn't work that way. Business is built on relationship, and relationship doesn't come out of the
blue."

This is simply bizarre, not to mention more than a little arrogant. I can't imagine implementing a product that uses this philosophy as its foundation,
and I can't imagine a business that would be willing to risk prospective
customer inquiries.

I must be missing something.

Bill
